DFI Week 3 Media

This week we focused on Media, how to utilise slides, linking actions within slides, youtube and settings. I was looking forward to this session as I am sure there is more to the Media world than just Facebook, PM's and using youtube to listen to a song. If I can take back to my class and my personal IT life one thing learn and implement this well in both environments then I will be happy.

I have also found that DFI is also about learning a new language. Using the correct terminology. Adding or putting in now becomes Embedding, coding, linking and using the duplicate quick keys. Lets be fair quick keys in general.

The students that I learn with are well versed in embedding slides into their blogs and navigating their way around digital devices. My main focus for DFI for school is to ensure that I learn alongside our tamariki and that I am able to assist them more effectively.

The breakout groups were a great opportunity to practice the skills that you learnt during the lessons. I found that the time went really quickly. Learning on line as opposed to face-to-face wasn't as scary as I first thought.

On a personal level I have stayed away from Youtube Channels but identifying the age appropriate settings was good to go through.

• What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?

        

        Learn = Create = Share LEARNING is always on going, CREATING is getting a smidge quicker, SHARING         is becoming less scary

• What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?

           That Jada will make a fantastic teacher. Look into settings, creating a Youtube Channel isn't scary just do             it, and most of all more practice. Preferrably before the next lesson.

• What did I learn that could be used with my learners?  

    

           Im still learning. But I would guess this would be linking slides and duplicating slides, colour gradients.

• What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?

    

           Just keep learning and keep practicing.

All going well to follow is my Story Line that I started. I still have a few things to update and change but its a start.
